Re: StGIT refreshes all added files - limitation of git-write-tree?

Pavel Roskin [off-list ref] writes:

Or maybe git-write-tree and other utilities could be changed to work on
a copy of the index file?  I would prefer not to move the
actual .git/index away, but to make a copy for the current "stg refresh"
operation.

There is no need to change the core side.  

	GIT_INDEX_FILE=temporary-index git-write-tree

would do the job.  See the current round of git-commit and how
it handles "git commit --only these files" case.
